Weekend Roundup- MLK Weekend, Seahawks Playoffs

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day means an extra day to relax and play this weekend, but more importantly, an extra day to celebrate our Seahawks eminent win over the 49ers this Sunday to secure our spot in the Superbowl 🙂 . To those of you lucky enough to be pocketing some of those golden tickets, cheer loudly, dance loyally (Macklemore is, after all Seattle’s ultimate 12th man), and do us proud; the rest of us will be rooting for our boys from the comfort of our own homes. In the meantime, take advantage of the extra downtime with these unique happenings around Seattle…
